what are"fun" speakers?

Darosenb - did you mean WATT Puppies?

I think of big speakers that have rich tone and a big dynamic sound. Something inaccurate but enjoyable, maybe we should all own them...

I have seen "fun" applied to economically-priced speakers which
made you want to dance. As examples, IME "fun" applies to the Royd
Minstrel (low sensitivity) and the Triangle Titus (90 dB).

Magnepans are "fun" especially if you are a true hobbiest. The basic models offer unparalled value, and there's the fun of having friends over who are mystified that athe music is coming from 2" thick speakers that look like doors. Moreover, they are easily tweaked out- outboard active crossovers, biamping and for the DIY types, bypassing internal XOs, etc.

since 1973, i've never been 'without' a pair of large advents. across the board, they play as flat as a pancake, and never disappoint. they come close in sound to any speaker at any price(even today), and though they aren't the last word in 'anything', when the mood hits, and i want to pull out my classic late 60's, early 70's records(not the audiophile ones, but the ones i really love), there is no better 'fun' speaker than Henry Kloss's masterpiece. As the original instructions once said...'don't spend too much on an amplifier'. i still believe these classic 'fun' speakers, paired with a thorens tt, and a sweet marantz receiver could compete with system at CES or THE show.

Fun speakers are when mates come around and you say you've just spent 50k on a new pair and they then make 'fun' of you for having more money than sense.
